S.C. Code Ann. § 12-24-70 – Affidavits

(A) The clerk of court or register of deeds shall require an affidavit showing the value of the realty to be filed with a deed.

The affidavit required by this section must be signed by a responsible person connected with the transaction, and the affidavit must state that connection. The clerk of court or register of deeds, at his discretion, may waive the affidavit requirement.
(B) The clerk of court or register of deeds shall file these affidavits in his office.
(C) A person required to furnish the affidavit who wilfully furnishes a false or fraudulent affidavit is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, must be fined not more than one thousand dollars or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
